The audition process varies somewhat with each Lexington-Hamline Community
Theater production. The artistic director involved will customize the
process to some extent.

For the most part, our auditions are rather informal and low-key. While
it is definitely not required, people can come with a prepared monologue if they
would like to. People can also come and read a scene or two from the
current play. It is definitely to your advantage to have read through the
play so you are somewhat familiar with the show. We will provide copies of
the script for those coming to the auditions.

Persons coming to the auditions will be asked to fill out an information form
that the director will use for background information, notations about conflicts
the person may have with rehearsal and performance dates, and notes taken during
the audition.

We encourage persons who have not been involved with theater in the past or
recently to come to auditions. Many people with limited experience have
gotten on-stage roles in our productions. Unfortunately, it is not always
possible to offer everyone a role. There are many other ways to be involved:
designing and building sets, coordinating props, helping with publicity, selling
tickets and handing out programs at the performances, finding costumes, serving
as the stage manager, working with lights and sound, to name a few. Helping
out in these various ways allows one to develop new skills, stay in touch with
friends from the company, and experience all the components of putting on a
show.

Save time at the auditions by downloading and filling out the audition
info form before you arrive.

Information about auditions for the next show is found on the Lex-Ham
Community Theater's home page.
